#ShoutOutsOfTheWeek Honestly, I can’t remember a single name on the ‘Let’s’ poets’ list whom I don’t want to shout out for. This has been the most magical theme EVER. And I feel humbled that SO many people asked me to write with them, and that I could be a part of this unbelievable journey. I promise you that I will try my utmost to come back with as many such magical Time-Outs as my heart can afford. :) For those who don’t know there will be such a Time-Out every Fifth theme of the cycle. And the end of every month, after four ‘serious’ themes where you write and shoot individually. And in the Time-Outs, we work together. As buddy practice. :) The project was hatched and conceptualised purely to build active trust between two strangers and create bonding within the TIG family. In today’s day and age, we’ve stopped trusting, we’ve stopped believing. We’ve become cynical. We’ve become clinical. I want to break that mould. And tell people that we’ve ALL had our share of storms in life. :) But that mustn’t EVER stop us from having faith. In people. In relationships. In love. Funnily you’ll notice, that no matter who you meet or speak with, at least *some* part of his story is also part of YOUR story. So we belong in each other, a LOT. So making connections is actually the easiest and most organic thing that can, must, needs to happen. Today. :) Here are the magicians I want to specially mention here: Superlative Lines: Kainaz Karmakar Riya Parikh Ritu Nichani Harshad Rajadhyaksha Saurabh Malhotra Ricardo Vaz Kruttika Nadig Ambrosia Tarsus Sundar Shankar Amit Charles Rini Joshua Leenuka Reddy Nilesh Mondal Nishevita Aiyer Sainee Raj Suchita Srinivasan Outstanding Shots: Harshad Rajadhyaksha Ritu Nichani Ranveer Aggarwal Ricardo Vaz Kruttika Nadig Saurabh Malhotra Amish Shah Kanika Bansal Soumya Tiwari Kainaz Karmakar Riya Parikh Charmi Dedhia Jiya Jaisingh Prashasti Sharma Leenuka Reddy Rini Joshua Parth Kaura Brilliant and Synergistic Team-work: Saurabh Malhotra – Ritu Nichani Harshad Rajadhyaksha – Ritu Nichani Nilesh Mondal – Charmi Shah Leenuka Reddy – Rini Joshua Nishevita Aiyer – Ricardo Vaz Nishevita Aiyer – Joel Thottan Sainee Raj – Suchita Srinivasan Ranveer Aggarwal – Ankita Keshari Amish Shah – Sundar Shankar Amit Charles – Ritu Nichani Sainee Raj – Ritu Nichani Jiya Jaisingh – Isha Yadav Parth Kaura – Ritu Nichani Charmi Dedhia – Kinnari Sanghvi Kruttika Nadig – Ritu Nichani Alka Nichani – Ritu Nichani Sundar Shankar – Ricardo Vaz Aishwarya Cotra – Ankita Keshari Amish Shah – Kanika Bansal Ritu Nichani – Nishevita Aiyer Jiya Jaisingh – Ritu Nichani Sundar Shankar – Ritu Nichani Naren Dyani – Bhagyashree Bhatt Tanvee Sharda – Prashasti Sharma Ricardo Vaz – Ritu Nichani Honestly I don’t even need to mention my STAR for this theme. Because the whole world knows it. None other than my glowing, compelling and ever-energetic child, Ritu Nichani. :) She didn’t give me a single entry the past week, that was not worth carrying. And kept asking me how she could better. And better. And better . With every post. Not only did she bend over backwards to grow individually. To write better. To shoot better. Learn better the most. She also showed how superbly new people can actually bond, how well two creative can put their heads together and make magic. She emblematised everything I had imagined this theme and makers to be. I have only heard everyone who paired with her speak about her in nothing but glowing terms. If I had a chance, I would probably adopt you, baby girl. You make me the proudest. I hope you forever remain this famished to learn. Stay close. And watch the magic. :) [ Now please use this comment space to shout out for anyone you think deserves. For their picture. Writing. Support and love. And stay glued to this page for another half hour please. Something VERY exciting is coming your way before the night ends. ] Hope the smiles linger, TIG :)
